Dear friends,
I am building an R package called *mypackage*. I followed every possible
steps (to my understanding) for the same. I got following problem while
doing *R CMD check mypackage*.
* installing *source* package 'mypackage' ...
** libs
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.0/etc/i386/Makeconf
Preferred POSIX equivalent is:
/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-213~1.0/etc/i386/Makeconf
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mypackage'
* removing 'C:/Rpackages/mypackage.Rcheck/mypackage'.
What I understood from above is that it is something with PATH variable. I
had set the following PATH variable:
C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\MinGW\bin;"C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.0\bin";"C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
2.9\miktex\bin";%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;"C:\Program
Files\HTML Help Workshop"
Can anybody suggest what possibly could have gone wrong?
Thanks,
BN Mandal

The cygwin warning should not be fatal. Is that what made you think there's a problem with your path? Can you upload mypackage online? Two options would be Github hosts that sort of thing or you could use a tar ball and any file hosting service. I (and possibly others more skilled) would be happy to try it on my system if I had it. You should also be able to see exactly where in the build process it failed from the log.
